A MR. HERBERT WELSH and Capt. Bourke, late of General George Crr,ok's staff. made recently visit 10 the imprisoned Apache braves( ? at Fort Marion, Florida, and Mir. Herbert Welsh made the following recommendation concerning the comfort of Geronimo and his band:
 That all the remaining Indians be taken from Fort Marion before the approach of hot weather, and that a reservation be assigned to them somewhere in the high, dry plains country of the west, where all needed opportunity and facil- ities for improvement and civiliza- ton he afforded tbem."
 The tender solicitude shown for the amiable Apache by this sym pathetic visiting committee, i'll the above suggestion has called forth vigorous protest from Governor Xulick, against such action, in the sLape of a letter written by him to the Secretary of the Interior. It Is wrll ii,ncd ard straightforward.
The Clifton clarion., 1887-05-25

and..is written in the interest of Arizona and her people. The citi- gems of this territory do not want the indians here again, for the req son that the latter comprise cut throat colony, set generally in the heart of the most valuable region of the public domain, the resources of which the miner and tue stock man, and not the savage, are sup- posed and disposedsto dsvelope.
 These red handed brutes have never developed anything but an innate instinct to kill, torture and steal, and unless it is conceded by the powers that be that the high, dry plains country of the west" is wholly theirs, there is no more justice in setting them in our midst again, than there would be in throwing open the cells of every States prison in the Union, and pouring their criminal flood over responsibility and industry. It has been conclusively proven that the Apache cannot be civilized, and It has also been proven that 1t is hard to civilize Q country in which he has hold. He has re- tarded the growth and develop ment of this territory twenty years. for the whole history of Arizona, since the white man was first at- tracted to it, by it's natural resour- ces, has been succession of Apache murders, ontrases and rob beries, and one cause of sorrow as we write this ia, that Mir. Herbert Welsh, and a few hundred more of his fellow dude Lightweight phil anthropists were not attracted to this section before Geronimo was suppressed. Capt. Bourke has not much to say on this subject, owing no doubt to the fact that his in formation concerning indian af- fairs is rather limited, he having been with Crook in most of that indian fighters ti) late campaigns.

THE newspapers that carry weight" are. it is said, the ones that are abusing Governor Zulick. We have a distinct remembrance of newspapers that carry weight" in the late campaign. It is fact that decent journals, the ones that command respect and carry weight are not in that kind Of business. They find that it requires all of their time in the performance of legitimate journalism.-Epitaph.
 The continual abuse of one man, whether he be private citizen or a public official, in the columns of a newspaper 3 doesn't lend much to the dignity of the sheet. or show off to any great advantage the mental resources of its editor. In fact the reading of it, as MT. Man talini would say. becomes "ono demmition dem'd grind"

NAH DrAz, tue indian who mur- dered Lieut.. Mott, has been found guilty of murder in the first de- gree and sentenced to Imprison- ment for life in the territorial prison at Yuma. He was tried in United States court. and sentenced under territorial laws. The sen tence gives universal dissatisfaction for the reason that if ever a ,nur- derer deserved death for cold blooded crime this xillainous Apache does.

No further developments in the Garratt land jumping case. It ap- pears that B Mexican named An dreas had filed on the land imme- diately after the cancellation of Dysar,'s filing and is consequently the rightful owner of the property. It was he who called Dysart to as sist in bouncing Garratt, which was done in fine shape, notwith- standing that Garratt was loaded down with firearms.
 Our land troubles seem to have commenced and special agent of the land office appears to be at the bottom of them. 1 understand two other settlers. Nash and Fonr- ness. have been notified by the land office 10 show cause why their filings should not be cancelled. These parties arc bona fide settlers and have titled tho land, upon which they have filed, for years. but in consequence of some tech nical irregularity they will prob ably lose the fruits of their labor, or be put to considerable expense to show cause why they should not. This is favoring the settler with vepgeancN

THE reputable republican pa pers of the territory are becoming disgusted with the continual howl of a disappointed office seeker, who unfortunately happens to have control of newspaper. as witness the following from the Tucson Citizen:
 We think someone should ring the chestnut bell on some of the detractors of Zulick. We are no admirers of the man ourselves, but this continual hue and cry from disappointed office seekers is get ting to be monotonous.

In view of the fact that much litigation is pending in the matter of the estate of J. B.

For certain reasons the name of the writer is withheld. but the public can rely on his being a responsi- ble party and in a position to know whereof he writes, otherwise the communication would not appear in our columns:

The Collins Estate.

The administrator of the estate of j. B. Collins filed his exhibit of his management of the affairs of the estate. The money received by him is stated at s31 ,927, and disbursements in carrying on gov ernment contracts and paying eI- penses of the estate S24,237. The claims approved against the estate amount to $2l ,601. The real ss- tate and much of the personal property yet remain unsold.
 4 very careful and economical management of the finances and affairs of the estate IS shown which reflects great credit on the admin istrator, D. H. Ming.
 QUEER TRANSACTION.
 The conduct of some of the heirs of the estate and their friends shortly after the death of Collins is stated by the administrator in his report "A few days after the death of J. E. Collins and before the appointment of an adminis- trator, without any authority. Adelia A. Collins caused the safe which belonged to the decedent which stood In his office to be cut open. There was considerable money in the safe, tho exact am cunt the administrator does not know, but believes 1t must have bees large sum. lhere were nlso books and papers in the safe relating to the business of the de cedent. All of such money, books and papers wero taken from the safe as soon as it wss cut open, and Mrs. 4. 4. Collins took them into her possession but made no list of them.
 It Is now more than probable in tho opinion of the adiniuistra- tor that q large amount of money and many valuable papers then taken from the safe. have never been delivered to the administra- tor. These upwarrapted proceed ures and unauthorized acts pro yoke in the mind of the admins trator a suspicion that property md papers of the deceased may have been fraudulently concealed or destroyed. The administrator is unable to understand the req son for such haste in cutting open the safe and abstacting the money, books and papers therein, and can not see how it can appear consist ont with any innocent purpose"
 At the request of H. R. Barry and Mrs. Collins, a one half inter est in 800 head of cattle branded J B c. was by the appraisers, one of whom was William Hibbard, appraised and iuventoried as the property of the said estate.
 Notwithstanding this however, H. R. Barry since set up a claim to all of the cattle. Then it was said hr hnd rivrn to Mrs. 4 1.
The Clifton clarion., 1887-05-25

Collins one half of the cattle and finally by . bill of sale to William Hubbard, the said Barry purports to sell to said Hubbard, an undi- vided one half of said cattle. The administrator having been refused the possession of any of the cattle inventoried and appraised, has been compelled to institute an ac ton to recover possession of them, which action Is now pending.
 At the time of the death of de- cedent a certain ranch and springs known as Bear Springs" was in his possession. He had in his life time improved the springs, appro- priated the water, built water troughs. tanks and corrsls, and after the issuance of letters of ad- ministration, the sail administra tor took possession of said Bear Springs ranch and placed ono Ly- man Fol!ett ID charge of said springs and ranch to protect and hold it tor the said administrator. But H. k. Barry, William Hib- bard, George Eaton and Vincent Morena, at the request of Mrs. Collins entered upon the said springs and ranch and busted and ejected the said Lyman Follett therefrom. To recover the pos session of this ranch also. the ad- mlnistrator has been compelled to bring action which Is now pend ing.
 Upon what is mentioned in the inventory and appraismen. as Farm Ranch, tho decedsnt had CT ected fences, corrals, house, seeded down alfalfa, and these improve ments were valued at SLIGO. All these were jumped and taken pos session of by H. R. Barry, Geo. H. Eaton and Mrs. Collins, and an ac- ton 10 recover the value of these improvements has been commenc- ed and is pending.
 At tue time of the death of J. B. Collins, he WAS possessed of POP head of sheep and 30 head of beef cattle, the latter purchased from Lawson X Johnson, through Will jam Williams. It was in diff culty arising over the price of these very cattle with Williams that Collins was killed. H. R. Barry. before the appointment of m ad- ministrator for tho estate, took possession of the sheep and cattle and killed them for beef and nut ton. From all these acts there seems to the administrator to ex- ist combination between Mrs. Collins and H. R. Barry and Will iam Hubbard to deprive the estate of n great deal of valuable property which he believes belonged to the estate.
 The evident attempts of those parties to enbarrass and hinder tue administratpr in the d scharge of bis dUl ,-s has been and still continne to be a great 1.triment to the estate and materia. y aGeclS the condition of its uf!airs.
